We all love Loki, don’t we? The God of Mischief has made a place in the hearts of every Marvel Cinematic Universe fan thanks to the charm that Tom Hiddleston resonates. The trickster met his end in the opening minutes of Avengers: Infinity War and it seems unlikely we’ll be seeing him again other than flashback or through some time travel hijinks in Avengers 4.

As is the usual practice of the world, whenever someone passes away they are elevated to a level of respect they weren’t bestowed with when they were alive–t🤡his applies to fictional characters too. With the words, “the sun will shine on us again,” Loki departed from t😼he MCU; however, he lives on in the comics.

This is something all of the film fans have overlooked. But it isn’t the first time something concerning Loki has been overlooked or unknown. There is a lot more than what meets the eye when it comes to the trickster; namely, his powers. Due to his status as a villain in his earlier appearances, Loki was largely seen weaker than Thor and the powers he demonstrated onscreen weren’t magnified as they should have. In his later appearances, Loki was an anti-hero who relied more on duplicity and comedy (as seen in Thor: Ragnarok).

So it will come as quite a surprise to you once you take a peek at this list and rౠealize Loki had a lot of powers he showcased in the MCU that you didn’t appreciate. There are many more that will be unknown as these have bee🤡n restricted to the comics.

25 ♛ Telekinesis ༺

To start off, this power was seen all of once in the MCU. During Thor: The Dark World, Loki was givenꦛ news of Frigga’s demise, and to cope with this news he exploded in rage, causing the furniture around his cell to vault against ༒the walls.

People don’t recall Loki having this pow🧸er, unfortunately. This would be due to the Trickster never employing its use in his battles. We’ve seen Loki face off against numerous enemies, but didn’t use telekinesis against them. It’s a mystery as to why this wasn’t used often as there are many creative ways Loki could have defeated his opponents.

24 Creating Tangi▨ble Illusions

Thor: Ragnarok would have us believe Loki can only create illusions that fool the naked eye. Thor made use of any item lying around him to fling at Loki in Ragnarok in order to determine if it was his brother or an i𒐪llusion of him.

But don’t be quick to forget Loki had created a tangible illusion in The Dark World.

When he had pulled off a fake perishing scenario to weasel his way back into Asgard, Loki had his illusion stabbed by Kurse and this duplicate was even cradled by Thor. Since then, Loki’s illusion capabilities seem to have weakened or Marvel may have simply decided to make ꦜpeople forget he had this ability in the first place.

23 𒆙Poss🍒ession

We are aware of Loki’s knack to use duplicity to fool his intended target iꦐnto doing his bidding, but did you know Loki had the ability to outright possess someone?

He has shown this power in the comics where Loki has possessed his unfortunate target and controlled said person using their body. This is where Loki’s true chaos-based powers shine and it is something that adds an element of fear to his character; something not much felt in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the particular story of the possession, as seen in Secret Invasion: Dark Reign, Loki banished Lady Sif’s soul from her body and took control of t🐬he Asgardian to fulfill his own plans.

22 All-Speak

It might not be apparent in the MCU, where every being in the universe seems to be well versed in English, but the Asgardians are leaღrned in the language of All-Speak. With this talent, they can converse with any alien or any sentient being in any galaxy.

With his status as a Prince of Asgard, Loki had centuries to learn different languages.

Just as Thor was able to decipher Groot’s language in Avengers: Infinity War, Loki☂ can also converse with different beings in their native language. As⛄ Loki had displayed greater interest in these matters as compared Thor, it is fair to assume he can speak a greater number of languages.

21 🌟 Transferring His Powers To 💃Another

We are aware of Rogue’s powers of sapping the energy and life force♋ of an unwitting victim, but Loki has an opposite ability–he can transfer his powers over𝐆 to another individual. This enables the recipient to make use of all the powers the God of Mischief possesses.

While may seem Loki would have good intentions with this, his intentions are actually the opposite. The occasions he has demonstrated the transference of power, Loki’s motive was to♓ avoid the battle himself and make the user of his power take his place. His transfer also boosts the existing p🤪owers of the person he is helping out.

20 Hei🐎ghtened Immunityꦜ (Magic And Technological)

Loki has i✨mbued himself with magical abilities of such extent that he has reached a certain level of immunity from them. In the MCU, his 🦩tussle with Doctor Strange’s magic didn’t get him far, but in the comics he has been seen achieving insane feats.

He survived being beheaded by Balder.

Alon♊g with that, he showed resistance to power-sapping abilities of Rogue, being controlled by a disc by the Controller and immunity to all known toxins. Basically, any attempt at controlling Loki using magical forces or otherwise will not work out as the God of Mischief is immune to all methods of mental restraints.

19 Mas𒉰ter Manipulator 🦩

It may not be an outrig🌠ht power, but Loki’s mastery at manipulating those around him is a skill not found in others. He’s not known as the God of Mischief and the Trickster for nothing.

The entire events of the MCU have unfolded due to Loki’s manipulation of Thor into attacking the Frost Giants.

This began a chain effect that culminated into Avengers: Infinity War. Loki had also gained favor of Thanos to this degree that the Titan h🅺ad willingly handed the scepter containing the Mind Stone over to him. On ജSakaar, Loki avoided the gladiator arena quickly after arriving due to his scheming. It’s appropriate his shapeshifting form is a snake because you can never be sure what is happening when Loki is around.

18 🌼 Disease Immunit෴y

It would suck to have the lifespan of an immortal being and be riddled with diseases that we normal humans suffer from. This is why Asgardians and Frost Giants don’t have to worry about trivial ailments like the c⭕ommon cold 🌺or more serious sicknesses like cancer.

Loki has lived for centuries without worrying about falling ill from an unwanted disease. His Frost Giant physiology gives him further advantage over an Asgardian as the icy tundra of Jotunheim has no effect on him. It’s still a wonder how Thor knows what Gout is in Avengers: Age of Ultron as he and Loki never wou🔴ld have come across it in Asgard.

17 Shapeshifting Other Matters ♔

Loki’s magical abilities are far greater than the movies have had them appear. In the films, Loki is ꦆmore of an illusion caster rather than an all out sorcerer like Doctor Strange. However, Loki’s mastery of shapeshifting is such that he has magically🐼 transformed beings and materials.

In the comics, Loki transformed clouds into dragons!

In the MCU itself, this ability has been understated save for a mention in Thor: Ragnarok where a thꦅrowaway jokes revealed꧋ Loki had transformed Thor into a frog back when they were eight-years-old.

16 🌃 Mind Reading

Tough luck trying to conceal anything from the God of Mischief because Loki won’t let you hide away anything from him. Only a slice of this power was glimpsed in Thor: Ragnarok but the scale of this power is such it is a marꦬvel how under the radar it has slippe✱d.

None of the characters we have seen thus far have been able to view another person’s inner thoughts by a simple touch, but Loki searched Valkyrie’s darkest secrets just this way. In source material, these powers are greatly expanded upon. However, it is odd how su👍ch a remarkable power has never been touted.
